Most Favorable Review

Still great bang for your buck

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX
AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX

Pros: Solid processor for the price, very competent overclocker with sb750 3.2 ghz with slight volt bump, runs everything I throw at it without a hiccup

Cons: Phenom 2's are faster and higher ocers, Am3 isn't too much more expensive.

Overall Review: This processor in my experience overclocks quite well 3.0 ghz with no voltage change, can hit 3.4 or higher with amd overdrive though through bios I have it stable at 1.36 volts at 3.2ghz. Get a quality 790gx board with this and you have a low cost powerful rig waiting to happen.

Athena Power CABLE-YPCIE628 7.25 in. PCIE 6pin "Y" Split to Two PCIE 2.0 8(6+2)pin Cable Female to Male

Pros: Nice length, 6 or 8 pin

Cons: Didnt power the card properly

Overall Review: could be bad luck I don't know I have a 750watt Silverstone Strider and couldn't use this to power a 4870x2

Perfect for portable backup

Pros: Great storage, no issues, perfect for my laptop, and easy to carry with you as needed.

Cons: Its an external drive so not anything to write about speed wise, lower capacity.

Overall Review: Grata drive for my laptop keeps files I dont need on hand safe, def helps when I need to move things from pc to pc or grab files on the go.

Perfect for my steam games

Team Group CX2 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6001T0C101

Pros: Great for my steam library for a good price. Never had as issue with team ssd or memory and have used them many times.

Cons: No as fast as m2 drives, has cables

Overall Review: This would be a great drive for an older pc, for a game drive or anything you need. Have had this in use quite a while and never any remote idea of an issue so far.

Great display

Pros: Great color, refresh and easy options. Mine is able to run g sync or freesync another bonus.

Overall Review: Have used this monitor for quite some time, looks great and Ive never had an issue with it. The ability to run free or g sync was just an added bonus and from what I read not guaranteed.

Looks great, works great!

Pros: Looks great, heavy duty, great onboard WiFi, easy access too less cover for m2 storage, solid options including 200s boost after bios update.

Cons: Heavy, extremely heavy compared to any other board Ive used.

Overall Review: Great board, no issue out the box, updated bios and runs fantastic. I have never had as issue with an Asrock board and have used many in budget builds, this one def checks the higher end mark for me with looks and features.
